About the Book

“J.A. Jance is among the best—if not the best.”
—Chattanooga Times

In Queen of the Night, New York Times bestselling author J.A. Jance brings back the Walker family—introduced in Hour of the Hunter, terrorized in Kiss of the Bees, and last seen in Day of the Dead. A multilayered thriller, gripping and unforgettable—evocatively set in the breathtaking Arizona desert—Queen of the Night is a chilling tale of murder past and present that connects and devastates three separate families.

Critical Praise

“Brilliant....[Jance] has crafted a mystery that Hillerman would be proud of and that her fans will love.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Queen of the Night

“Jance offers that rare—and welcome—hybrid: the suspense novel with heart…[She] is at the top of her game and just about irresistible.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on Queen of the Night

“Fans of police procedurals with a Southwestern flair will love Joanna’s determination to manage marriage, motherhood, and policing in this 19th Joanna Brady book.” — Library Journal on Missing and Endangered

“The two parallel cases provide plenty of action, while keeping a premium on character studies and violence to a minimum. Once again, the compassionate, intelligent Joanna balances a busy home life and a complex job with aplomb. This long-running series consistently entertains.” — Publishers Weekly on Missing and Endangered

“Bestseller Jance’s enjoyable 25^th J.P. Beaumont mystery…J.P. is a fully developed character, and his frequent calls to [his wife] Melissa to discuss the case are both touching and insightful. They make a good team even at a distance. New readers will happily join the ranks of longtime fans.” — Publishers Weekly on Nothing to Lose
